Should I buy a 1972 Jaguar XJ6 in pretty good condition for $900? It's brakes are shot and it needs an exhaust hack job done, but ...:drink:

no. It will need 10K of work. -
so much work. It might be blasphemy for some true fans, but those cars have a plug and play sbc swap, making them mean machines. I don't know about the xj6, but I know a colleague that bought a car already with a ls1, then gave up on his jag after f*cking with crappy wiring, an odd fuel tank setup, and most of all inboard brakes that were a pain in the ass.Comment

look at this page, I considered this for a long time, jag styling, and a reliable motor.

Wiring on Jags tends to be a serious nightmare... Theres a guy in town who puts Caddy Northstar V8s in them, but the rest of the car still sucks to work on. Have you ever seen the wiring in a Porsche 928? Its about that complicated, but it's like a blind amputee soldered all of the connections using his teeth...'88 528e /// '88 M5 /// '89 951 /// '98 E430 /// '02 M5Comment

Thanks for the input guys.....I guess I'll go back to looking at this BMW 635 or the M6 I'm looking at. I don't think $2250 is a bad price for a Euro 635 with the Dogleg 5spd. Early interior, though.Comment

Thats a good price for a Euro 635CSi... Early interior isn't bad at all, it's cool! If you buy that car and you are interested in some Alpina suspension, PM me.'88 528e /// '88 M5 /// '89 951 /// '98 E430 /// '02 M5Comment

Would a British Amputee from the 70's have any teeth? Or at least enough of them in the right configuration to work a soldering iron?Comment

Probably not, which is why none of the shit works right!!'88 528e /// '88 M5 /// '89 951 /// '98 E430 /// '02 M5Comment
